Slots is a minigame in Super Mario Odyssey. While originating in the Sand Kingdom, it also appears in the Metro Kingdom and in the Luncheon Kingdom. The minigame is hosted by a Tostarenan and costs 10 coins to play.
When the minigame begins, panels in the middle of the room light up and start to cycle between images of potential prizes. By throwing Cappy at a panel, its image stops changing. By matching all of the panels' respective images, Mario can win a Power Moon, a regular heart, a Life-Up Heart, or 40 coins; failing to win results in being awarded a single coin.
In the Sand Kingdom, the minigame features three panels. In the Metro Kingdom, it features four panels, and in the Luncheon Kingdom, it features five panels. A total of four Power Moons can be obtained by playing Slots, including one granted by Toadette in the Mushroom Kingdom for obtaining the first three Power Moons:
